    Twins Hitting for the cycle.....

    Gomez is a single away from hitting for the cycle tonight against rival Chicago White Sox.


    He has a solo HR, a RBI-triple, and a RBI-double. I'd say that is a good night's work.

    I was just about to post this.....way to go.

    Anyway, he's obviously seeing the ball really well tonight, and he's got one at bat left, 2 if they can put some guys on base. It would be really cool to see this guy hit for the cycle.

    Yeah, it is always fun to see a guy hit for the cycle!! It is exciting to watch, just like a no-hitter.

    I believe that Gomez is due up 3rd this inning.

    He did it in reverse natural order too: HR, 3B, 2B, 1B. Nice.

    Hey DirtyKash, good observation. That is cool!!! It doesn't usually happen like that.

    Random cycle stats
    • There have been six cycles in which the home run was a grand slam. This happened five times in the American League and once in the National League
    • On June 3, 1932, Tony Lazzeri became the only player in major league history to accomplish both feats listed above: hitting a natural cycle and ending it with a grand slam. This is often overlooked because Lazzeri did it in the same game that teammate Lou Gehrig hit four home runs.
    • No player has ever hit a "homer cycle", consisting of a solo home run, a two-run home run, a three-run home run, and a grand slam.
    • No player has ever hit for the cycle and hit four home runs in the same game. The player to come closest was Shawn Green, who went six-for-six on May 23, 2002, hitting four home runs, a single and a double, missing only the triple.

    Wow. Congratulations to Carlos Gomez. This guy was my boy last year when he played in Flushing. I wish him the best of luck

    Twins bat around in the 9th and Gomez gets another at bat and











    he strikes out to end the inning.
